Chapter 5 Jade Bracelet

Mr. Qiao was very happy when he saw Jiang Sheng. He held up the birdcage in his hand to show off: "Shengsheng, look at what my grandfather is holding."

Jiang Sheng focused his eyes.

A bird, but she didn't know what kind.

Mrs. Qiao was proud: "My student gave me this. It's called a budgerigar. It can talk. You can't even buy it in the capital."

Mr. Qiao is a retired Imperial College Master, with great success all over the world.

Old Mrs. Qiao laughed at him: "Just show off. Your grandfather got this bird and was extremely happy."

Qiao Zhi went over and put his arm around Mrs. Qiao: "Grandpa is so precious, I won't even look at it. I'm partial!"

Old Mrs. Qiao glanced at Qiao Zhi: "Am I not willing to show it to you? How many things have you destroyed since you were a child? I wanted to get a cat last year but I didn't dare to get one, for fear that you would kill me."

"Bah, bah, bah." Old Mrs. Qiao leaned towards Old Mrs. Qiao.

"Those who live to die day and night are not afraid of bad luck."

Old Mrs. Qiao winked, then tilted his head and teased the bird as if offering a treasure: "Call Sheng Sheng, Sheng Sheng, Sheng~Sheng~"

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Mrs. Qiao, she couldn't help but think of her grandfather.

Grandpa is also like a living treasure. Although he seems to be indifferent on weekdays, he is her only spiritual support since her sister left.

I don’t know how grandpa is doing now.

"Shengsheng, Shengsheng."

Suddenly a short and sharp sound sounded, and several people were surprised to find that it was the bird speaking human language.

Mrs. Hou stared at the birdcage: "This, this, this... so..."

Mrs. Qiao was proud: "I am a treasure, right?"

"Baby, let me say it again, Shengsheng is the most beautiful."

The bird flapped its wings: "Shengsheng is the most beautiful! The most beautiful!"

"Hey, that's well said." Mr. Qiao praised.

Qiao Zhi also rushed forward: "Qiao Zhi is the most beautiful, Qiao Zhi is the most beautiful."

But the parrot just didn't learn.

Mrs. Qiao was happy: "It seems that our eldest baby is still very discerning."

Qiao Zhi snorted: "This is to praise Shengsheng. If you praise others but not me, watch how I pluck its feathers and chop off its wings!"

The parrot seemed to understand and huddled up. Mr. Qiao quickly hugged the birdcage: "Looking at how cruel you are, who will dare to want you in the future?"

Qiao Zhi didn't care: "I will recruit a son-in-law from now on. I don't want anything else, as long as he is obedient and good-looking."

Jiang Sheng watched the grandson bickering and was so happy that she almost forgot what she was here for.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered and quickly looked at Jiang Xian who was looking at this place indifferently like an outsider.

Jiang Sheng walked up to Jiang Xian and pulled her over: "Did my grandparents give my sister a meeting gift? My sister finally came back, so you can't default on her debt."

Several people recalled the situation just now and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Jiang Sheng realized that something unusual might have happened here.

Jiang Xian said lightly: "I don't want it, thank you."

Jiang Sheng was annoyed.

If I had known, I would have done Qiao Zhi's ideological work later.

Mrs. Hou solved the mystery for Jiang Sheng: "Your grandmother wanted to give your sister a jade bracelet, but your sister threw her away."

Mrs. Hou said this in a very dissatisfied tone. This was her natal family and she had no scruples.

"Oh." Jiang Sheng approached Mrs. Qiao intimately: "I guess grandma went to hold my sister's hand."

Mrs. Qiao was surprised: "Shengsheng is so smart."

Jiang Sheng said: "You don't know, my sister has no one to get close to outside. Of course she is not used to others holding her hand."

Jiang Xian glanced at Jiang Sheng casually.

Mrs. Hou felt that the daughter she had raised by herself was kind, but Qiao Zhi looked angry at her.

Jiang Sheng blinked and looked at Old Mrs. Qiao with clear eyes: "Grandma won't be angry with my sister because of this, right?"

"Of course not." How could she, an elder, be angry with a junior?

She is a pitiful granddaughter. She was miscarried as a child and grew up in that ravine. Just like Shengsheng said, no one got close to her.

The more Mrs. Qiao thought about it, the more she felt pity. She took off the bracelet and handed it to Jiang Xian: "Xianxian, this is a meeting gift from grandma to you. Don't dislike it. Grandma will give you a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year."

Jiang Sheng watched Mrs. Qiao's movements without moving.

Then his eyes blinked.

Will the heroine accept it?
